3G and 4G Cellular Markets

     Wireless Infrastructure

The accelerating data consumption of 3G and 4G devices is placing tremendous pressure on existing cellular infrastructure. It is anticipated that carriers will seek new, pragmatic solutions over costly traditional infrastructure build outs to solve this challenge. Small-Cell base stations enable carriers to target specific areas of dense data, including urban areas, offices, college campuses, and entertainment venues. Our manufacturing processes and design technologies enable us to provide PAs optimized for new Small-Cell wireless infrastructure equipment that will support this improvement in wireless networks. Our Small-Cell infrastructure PAs have a leadership position in the market and are specified on multiple reference designs.

Cellular networks typically rely on fiber optic connections at each tower to provide wireless users with data and voice services. New point-to-point systems use wireless connectivity to replace fiber optics, making it easier for wireless carriers to expand their coverage by simplifying construction and providing greater flexibility to select the best placement. Our VCOs are optimized for point-to-point base stations with an industry-leading combination of output power and phase noise.

     IoT

We live in an ever more interconnected world with 3G and 4G connectivity being embedded in a variety of applications, from M2M to automotive and industrial. The catalysts for the anticipated growth of IoT are the expanding use of sensors, improvements provided by communication with appliances and machines, and demand for greater control. To provide manufacturers with a solution that enables high-speed embedded connectivity across multiple bands and modes, our PAs provide outstanding output power, linearity, and integration. These advantages ensure reliable connectivity to 3G and 4G data networks, while minimizing space requirements.

     Mobile

The market for 3G and 4G mobile devices continues to grow as users increasingly rely on smartphones and tablets to access network data. Additionally, new features, including larger screens, faster processors, and better cameras are enhancing the user experience and driving upgrades. To help manufacturers extend battery life, we offer PAs with the industry’s highest level of efficiency.

VCSEL Foundry Market

Motion-capture and sensing functionality is currently offered in some common consumer electronics devices, such as ambient light sensors in smartphones. However, we expect these capabilities to expand significantly and become an integral part in the way users interact with their environment. Major applications for sensing include smartphones, tablets, gaming systems, and vehicles with robust gesture recognition; wearables with biometric sensors that can provide real-time information; and mobile computing that can provide a simulated 3D experience. We anticipate that VCSELs will be used for many of these applications because they provide inherently better performance compared with LEDs. VCSELs also offer improved manufacturability and lower cost compared with edge-emitting Lasers. However, in order for VCSELs to successfully displace these technologies, they need to be manufactured with the same scale, quality, and cost structure as LEDs. We now have successfully demonstrated the industry’s first 6-inch GaAs VCSEL fabrication process. This larger substrate quadruples the gross area per wafer compared with today’s commonly used 3-inch wafer technology and more than doubles that of 4-inch technology. More gross area per wafer not only allows for substantially greater scalability, but also makes VCSELs more economical as the die size increases in support of emitter arrays and pragmatic for smaller die sizes to be used in high-volume mobile applications. The recently introduced advanced wafer fab and test capabilities that our facility offers also improve yields and provide better repeatability. Foundry revenues are categorized within Infrastructure revenue.

Our Strategy

We aim to create value through innovative RF products and services that enable instantaneous connectivity anytime, anywhere to support the unyielding demand for greater data consumption. The key elements of our strategy include:

● Regain and expand profitability by focusing on growth areas within key markets. In 2014, with our strategic restructuring, we shifted our focus to certain targeted markets, especially within the infrastructure space, and away from high volume, low margin opportunities within the cellular applications market. We believe that the shift will allow us to regain and expand profitability, principally because the lifecycles of products in the infrastructure markets tend to be longer and our unique technology and product features create a stronger value proposition to our customers. The longer product life cycles enable a greater return on our R&D investments, and the stronger value proposition provides products with long-term price stability and solid margins.  Within the infrastructure market, we are able to deliver value-added solutions with innovative products.  At the same time, we expect to hold our research, development, and sales expenses to enable a leveraged increase in profitability dollars and return on revenue percentage.  Within the mobile space, while previously we pursued high-volume cellular opportunities, we are now focusing on delivering products that result in higher gross margin and profitability.  We believe that our strategy will allow us to grow our market share within these profitable target markets and to achieve a strong competitive position.

Our targeted direct sales program facilitates our penetration in existing markets and our development of sales in new markets.

We selectively use independent manufacturers’ sales representatives and distributors to complement our direct sales efforts. By working with key distributors like Richardson-RFPD, Alltek Technology, Hong Kong Techtronics, Long Trump and Satori, who have extensive sales networks and experience, we are able to maintain local practices regarding inventories and payment terms, while supporting our growth in Asia, Europe and North America. We believe this is critical to our objective of expanding our customer base, especially in infrastructure markets.

We also actively pursue and develop relationships with reference-designers in applicable target markets. We believe this approach will facilitate our efforts to develop products that are compatible with leading reference designs which contribute to design wins and market penetration.

Customer Support

Maintaining strong relationships with customers and reinforcing goodwill with them goes beyond marketing and sales. We are strongly committed to customer support. Our design and applications staff actively communicate with customers throughout the entire deployment process, including, design, qualification and manufacturing phases. We have highly specialized field applications engineers in North America, Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan whose primary objective is to provide unsurpassed customer support and service. By providing a world-class level of support, we deliver greater value to our customers, which further differentiates our products and services and provides more opportunity for future sales.

Process Technology, Manufacturing, Assembly and Testing

Process Technology

We design, develop, and manufacture RFIC’s using a variety of compound semiconductor substrates, including GaAs, GaN, and silicon CMOS, using numerous process technologies, including MESFET, pHEMT and HBT. Our patented InGaP-Plus technology combines InGaP HBT and pHEMT processes on a single substrate, enabling us to integrate several functions, including PAs, LNAs and RF switches on the same die. Additionally, we have developed and recently introduced unique VCSEL process technology and test capabilities that enable higher yields and greater die per wafer with enhanced uniformity. See “Risk Factors—Sources for certain components, materials, equipment and repair services are limited, which could result in delays or reductions in product shipments.”

We also use technologies, such as silicon CMOS, that we do not intend to manufacture in-house. We believe there will be adequate external Foundry capacity available to produce these components.

Manufacturing

We manufacture substantially all of our ICs in our six-inch diameter GaAs wafer fab in Warren, New Jersey. Our 150mm (six-inch diameter) GaAs wafer fab has been operational since 1999 and is certified as ISO9001:2008 and ISO14001:2004 compliant. We also have Foundry arrangements with several companies to supply alternate technologies and supplement our existing wafer fab capabilities. This structure provides us with access to unique technologies and flexible capacity without the requisite capital investment.

Assembly

Fabricated GaAs wafers are separated into individual units called die and shipped to contractors in Asia for assembly into our products. The die, other necessary components, and interconnects are mounted within a single package.

Final Test

After assembly, packaged ICs are tested prior to shipment to our customers. We outsource the majority of our production RF testing operations to companies that perform testing near our module assembly contractors in Asia. This adds considerable efficiencies to the device manufacturing process by reducing product cycle times, which allows customers to receive products more quickly and supports our initiative to reduce manufacturing costs and increase our profitability.

Raw Materials

GaAs wafers, HBT/pHEMT epitaxial wafers, passive components, other raw materials, equipment and repair services used in the production of our ICs are available from a limited number of sources. See “Risk Factors—Sources for certain components, materials, equipment and repair services are limited, which could result in delays or reductions in product shipments.”

Research and Development

We have made significant investments in our unique processes and knowledge, including system architectures, product design, wafer fabrication, package design, and testing which we believe provide us with a competitive advantage. In 2014, we refocused our business on specific markets, such as Infrastructure for CATV, wireless and WiFi, where we believe we can provide the greatest value to our customers and achieve the best return on our investment. With this greater focus on infrastructure, we are able to both better serve these markets and reduce our research and development expenses, which were $26.7 million, $38.6 million and $43.9 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Customers

Sales to Samsung Electronics and Huawei Technologies accounted for 26% and 22%, respectively, of total net sales during 2014. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total net sales during 2014. See “Risk Factors—We depend on a few large customers for a significant portion of our revenue; a loss of a significant customer or a decrease in purchases and/or changes in purchasing or payment patterns by one of these customers could materially and adversely affect our revenues and our ability to forecast revenues.”

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, we had 293 employees. We believe our relations with our employees are generally positive.

Competition

We compete with U.S. and international semiconductor and IC manufacturers of all sizes. Our key competitors are Avago Technologies Limited, Qorvo, Inc. (formerly RF Micro Devices, Inc. and TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc), and Skyworks Solutions, Inc., as well as M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. and MaxLinear, Inc. in select markets.

In select cases, our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, and marketing resources than we do. Increased competition could adversely affect our revenue and profitability through price reductions or reduced demand for our products. See “Risk Factors—We face intense competition which could result in a decrease in our products’ prices and sales.”

Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights

It is our practice to seek U.S. patent and copyright protection for our products and developments where appropriate and to protect our valuable technology under U.S. laws affording protection for trade secrets and for semiconductor chip designs. As of December 31, 2014, we own 84 U.S. patents and have 19 pending U.S. patent applications. The U.S. patents were issued between 1997 and 2014 and will expire between 2015 and 2033.

We rely primarily upon trade secrets, technical know-how, and other unpatented proprietary information relating to our product development and manufacturing activities. To protect our trade secrets, technical know-how, and other proprietary information, our employees are required to enter into agreements providing for maintenance of confidentiality and the assignment to the Company of rights to inventions made by them while in our employ. We have also entered into non-disclosure agreements to protect our confidential information delivered to third parties in conjunction with possible corporate collaborations and for other purposes. See “Risk Factors—We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property rights or in avoiding claims that we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.”

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to international, federal, state, and local environmental laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances (“environmental laws”) that govern activities or operations that may have adverse effects on human health or the environment. These environmental laws may impose liability for the cost of remediating, and for certain damages resulting from, sites of past releases of hazardous materials. We believe that we currently conduct, and have conducted, our activities and operations in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and that costs arising from existing environmental laws will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot assure you, however, that such environmental laws will not become more stringent in the future or that we will not incur significant costs in the future in order to comply with these laws and regulations. See “Risk Factors—We are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations both domestically and abroad.”

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE IS SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF RISKS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED AND THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE. YOU SHOULD ALSO REFER TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT, INCLUDING OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES.

We have experienced losses in the past and expect to experience losses in the future.

We have incurred substantial operating and net losses in the past, including in 2014, and we expect to continue to incur losses in 2015. If economic conditions worsen, or there is an abrupt change in our customers’ businesses or markets, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected

Due to the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and our end markets our results of operations can vary significantly which could have a material and adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.                                   

The semiconductor industry and our end markets have been cyclical, seasonal and subject to significant downturns. Further, the industry can have limited visibility into customers’ forecasts and inventory levels.In past years, particularly within the mobile market, the industry has experienced periods marked by market weaknesses that created lower order demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels, and accelerated declines in average selling prices for our products.

Our results of operations also may be subject to significant quarterly and annual fluctuations. These fluctuations are due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among others: (i) changes in end-user demand for the products manufactured with our products and sold by our customers; (ii) the effects of competitive pricing pressures, including decreases in average selling prices of our products; (iii) industry production capacity levels and fluctuations in industry manufacturing yields; (iv) levels of inventory in our end markets; (v) availability and cost of products from our suppliers; (vi) the gain or loss of significant customers; (vii) our ability to develop, introduce and market new products and technologies on a timely basis; (viii) new product and technology introductions by competitors; (ix) changes in the mix of products produced and sold; (x) market acceptance of our products and our customers; and (xi) intellectual property disputes.

These factors negatively affected our business, financial condition and results of operations during these periods and may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.

We depend on a few large customers for a significant portion of our revenue; a loss of a significant customer or a decrease in purchases and/or changes in purchasing or payment patterns by one of these customers could materially and adversely affect our revenues and our ability to forecast revenues.          

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from a few significant customers and their subcontractors. Our financial condition and results of operations have been materially and adversely affected in the past by the failure of anticipated orders to be realized and by deferrals or cancellations of orders as a result of changes in customer requirements. If a customer encounters financial difficulties of its own as a result of a change in demand or for any other reason, the customer’s ability to make timely payments to us for non-returnable products could be impaired. If we were to lose any of our major customers, if sales to these customers were to decrease materially or our customers fail to make timely payments, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to sell a sufficient volume of products relative to our manufacturing capacity and facility utilization, our operating results may be adversely affected.

Since June 2014, we have decreased capacity in our manufacturing facility; however, our manufacturing facility continues to be underutilized. In years in which we had excess capacity, this excess capacity meant we incurred higher fixed costs for our products relative to the revenues we generated. Because significant portions of our manufacturing costs are relatively fixed, our manufacturing volumes are critical to our operating results. If we fail to achieve and maintain acceptable manufacturing volumes or experience customer-driven product shipment delays, our results of operations could be harmed. During periods of decreased demand, our fixed manufacturing costs negatively affect our results of operations. If we are unable to improve utilization levels and manage capacity, the increased expense levels relative to revenue will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we base our expense levels in part on our expectations of future orders and these expense levels are predominantly fixed. If we receive fewer customer orders than expected or if our customers delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to reduce our manufacturing costs, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face intense competition, which could result in a decrease in our products’ prices and sales.

The markets for our semiconductor products are intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change. We compete with U.S. and international semiconductor and IC manufacturers of various sizes, some of whom have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. Our markets involve substantial competition and we expect that competitive pressures will remain high. Particularly in mobile markets, this competition has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, declining average selling prices for our products and increased challenges in maintaining or increasing market share. We believe that the principal competitive factors for suppliers in our markets include, among others: (i) time-to-market; (ii) timely new product innovation; (iii) product quality, reliability and performance; (iv) product price; (v) features available in products; (vi) compliance with industry standards; (vii) strategic relationships with leading reference design providers and customers; (viii) access to and protection of intellectual property; (ix) market acceptance; and (x) maintaining access to raw materials, supplies and services at a competitive cost.

Certain of our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can.

Current and potential competitors have established, or may in the future establish, financial or strategic relationships among themselves or with customers, distributors, reference design providers or other third parties with whom we have or may in the future have relationships. If our competitors are able to strengthen existing, or establish new, relationships with these third parties they may rapidly acquire market share at our expense, which has occurred in the past when our capacity was constrained and we were unable to fully meet customer demand. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and potential competitors. Further, increased competition could result in pricing pressures, decreased gross margins and loss of market share and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We need to keep pace with rapid product and process development and technological changes as well as product cost reductions to be competitive.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapid changes in both product and process technologies based on the continuous demand for product enhancements, including greater performance, higher levels of integration, and smaller form factors. Particularly within the mobile markets, because the continuous evolution of these technologies and frequent introduction of new products and enhancements have generally resulted in short product life cycles for products, we believe that our future success in that market will depend, in part, upon our ability to continue to improve the efficiency of our products and process technologies and rapidly develop new products and process technologies. The successful development of our products is highly complex and depends on numerous factors, including our ability to anticipate customer and market requirements and changes in technology and industry standards, our ability to differentiate our products from offerings of our competitors, and our ability to protect, develop or otherwise obtain adequate intellectual property for our new products. The development and/or implementation of new and emerging technology may require us to modify the manufacturing process for our products, design new products to more stringent standards, and redesign some existing products, which may prove difficult for us and result in sub-optimal manufacturing yields, delays in product deliveries and increased expenses. We may need to make substantial investments to develop these enhancements and technologies, and we cannot assure you that we will have funds available for these investments or that these enhancements and technologies will be successful. Although we have reduced product costs through cost negotiation and reduction, improved yields, packaging and test applications and die size reduction, we may not be able to do so in the future. We must achieve yield improvements and other cost reductions for existing products, and introduce new products that can be manufactured at lower costs. If a new technology emerges that is, or is perceived to be, superior to our existing technology and we are unable to develop and/or implement the new technology successfully or to develop and implement a competitive and economically acceptable alternative technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Investments in researching and developing emerging technologies may not result in returns on such investments and may pose risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The market for semiconductors products is ever evolving and demands us to be innovative and forward-looking. To remain competitive and profitable, we need to identify emerging technologies and invest in research and development of products which utilize such emerging technologies. There can be no assurance that we will have visibility into emerging technologies or sufficient resources to research and develop products incorporating such emerging technologies. Even if we are successful, we may not sell any such new products and therefore fail to achieve any return on our investment in the research and development of such new products. Further, there may be potential risks associated with the development and commercialization of new products, including unforeseen health risks or regulatory actions. If we fail to identify emerging technologies, research and develop new products and/or experience unforeseen hazards relating to such development, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to expand our market share within the infrastructure market our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We currently expect a larger portion of our revenue to derive from infrastructure markets. However, delays in the development of new technologies used in infrastructure applications or in the advancement of technologies used in infrastructure applications could reduce purchases of our products by manufacturers in these markets and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, operating results, and financial condition.

Within the infrastructure market, our future success depends on the continued advancement of the communications industry and, in particular, the continued expansion of global information networks, especially those directly or indirectly dependent upon CATV infrastructure.

We rely on increasing demand for voice, video and other data delivered over high-bandwidth network systems as well as commitments by network systems vendors to invest in the expansion of the global information network. As network usage and bandwidth demand increase, so does the need for advanced wired CATV subsystems and components. Therefore, our future growth as a manufacturer of these products is dependent on the expansion in these networks. In the event that global information networks do not grow as expected, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected.

We expect a significant portion of our profitability in future periods to derive from the demand for DOCSIS3.1. The transition from DOCSIS3.0 to DOCSIS3.1 has begun to take hold in Europe. The transition is expected to occur in the United States in 2016, with demand for CATV infrastructure products anticipated to increase in 2015. If the transition from DOCSIS3.0 to DOCSIS3.1 does not take place or is substantially delayed in either Europe or the United States, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected.

We have implemented cost restructuring programs in the past and may need to again in the future.

We implemented cost restructuring programs in each of the past three years and may need to implement such programs again in the future. Such restructuring programs are costly to implement and may inadequately address the operating environment. No assurance can be given that the implementation of cost reduction programs will generate the anticipated cost savings and other benefits or that future or additional measures may be required. If we incorrectly anticipate the extent and term of a market decline or weak demand for our products and services, we may be forced to restructure further or may incur future operating charges due to poor business conditions and our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely be materially and adversely affected.

Short product life cycles, particularly within the mobile markets, and the nature of semiconductor production, including the potential for order cancellation and need to build product to a customer’s forecast may leave us with obsolete or excess inventories.

The life cycles of some of our products, particularly within the mobile market, depend heavily upon the life cycles of the end products into which our products are designed. Products with short life cycles require us to manage production and inventory levels closely. We are subject to increased inventory risks and costs because in certain cases we build our products based on forecasts provided by customers before receiving purchase orders for the products. As a result we incur inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales. Unanticipated changes in the estimated total demand for our products and/or the estimated life cycles of the end products into which our products are designed can result in obsolete or excess inventories, requiring a write off or a reduction in the inventory value. Such charges could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

If equipment manufacturers and designers of infrastructure and mobile communications products do not design our products into their equipment, we will have difficulty selling those products.

Our products are not sold directly to the end-user, but are components or subsystems of other products. As a result, we rely on equipment manufacturers and designers of infrastructure and mobile communications products to select our products from among alternative offerings to be designed into their equipment. Without these “design wins,” we would have difficulty selling our products. If a manufacturer designs another supplier’s product into one of its product platforms, it is more difficult for us to achieve future design wins with that platform because changing suppliers involves significant cost, time, effort and risk on the part of that manufacturer. We may not continue to achieve design wins, and failure to do so could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

A design win from a customer does not guarantee future sales to that customer.

Achieving a design win with a customer does not ensure that we will receive significant revenues from that customer. Even after a design win, the customer is not obligated to purchase our products and can choose at any time to reduce or cease use of our products, including for example, if its own products are not commercially successful. Failure to convert design wins into actual sales could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Lengthy product development and sales cycles associated with many of our products may result in significant expenditures before generating any revenues related to those products. 

After our product has been developed, tested and manufactured, our customers may need several quarters to integrate, test and evaluate our product and several additional quarters to begin volume production of their device that incorporates our product. This lengthy cycle time increases the possibility that a customer may decide to cancel or change product plans, which could reduce or eliminate our sales to that customer. As a result of this lengthy sales cycle, we may incur significant research and development expenses, and selling and administrative expenses, before we generate the related revenues for these products. Furthermore, we may never generate the anticipated revenues from a product after incurring such expenses if our customer cancels or changes its product plans and as a result our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of our products could adversely affect our business. 

Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders and not under long-term supply arrangements with our customers. Our customers may cancel orders before shipment. Additionally, we sell a portion of our products through distributors, some of whom have certain rights to return unsold products. We may purchase and manufacture inventory based on estimates of customer demand for our products, which is difficult to predict. This difficulty may be compounded when we sell to equipment manufacturers or designers indirectly through distributors or contract manufacturers, or both, as our forecasts of demand will then be based on estimates provided by multiple parties. In addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. The cancellation or deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products, or overproduction due to a change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs or write-offs. In addition, shortened customer order lead times and opportunistic orders may not be filled timely due to a lack of, or inadequate level of uncommitted inventory resulting in lower revenues than possible. Further, shortened customer order lead times may make it difficult to forecast revenues. Each of these uncertainties relating to the ordering and shipment of our products could result in a material and adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks from failures in our manufacturing processes and the processes of our subcontractors.

The fabrication of ICs, particularly those made of GaAs, is a highly complex and precise process. Our ICs are primarily manufactured on wafers made of GaAs requiring multiple process steps. It requires production in a highly controlled, clean environment. Minor impurities, contamination of the clean room environment, errors in any step of the fabrication process, defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer, defects in equipment or materials, downtime on equipment, human error, interruptions in electrical supply, among other factors can cause a substantial interruption in our manufacturing processes. Moreover, our manufacturing process is subject to fluctuations in our demand and fab utilization. In order to satisfy increasing customer demand by significantly increasing manufacturing output and adding personnel, we may also incur manufacturing disruptions limiting supply to customers.

Additionally, our operations may be affected by lengthy or recurring disruptions of operations at our production facility or those of our subcontractors. Due to the highly specialized nature of the GaAs IC manufacturing process, in the event of a disruption at the Warren, New Jersey semiconductor wafer fab, alternative GaAs production capacity for certain processes would not be readily available from third-party sources. Disruptions may include electrical power outages, fire, earthquakes, flooding, international conflicts, war, acts of terrorism, or other natural or man-made disasters. Specifically, in the fourth quarter of 2011, one of our subcontractors was impacted by the floods in Thailand, resulting in a temporary interruption of supply, and in the fourth quarter of 2012, our New Jersey offices and manufacturing facility were impacted by the loss of power, access restrictions and delivery delays caused by Hurricane Sandy. Disruptions of our manufacturing operations could cause significant delays in our shipments unless and until we are able to shift the manufacturing of such products from an affected facility to another facility or the disruption is remedied.

Many of our customers require that they qualify a new manufacturing source before they will accept products from such source. This qualification process may be expensive and time consuming. In the event of such delays, we cannot assure you that the required alternative capacity would be available on a timely basis or at all. Even if alternative manufacturing capacity or assembly and test capacity is available, we may not be able to obtain it on favorable terms, which could result in higher costs and/or a loss of customers. We may be unable to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet demand, either at our own facilities or through external manufacturing. In the event we are unable to supply our customers with products on a timely basis, such customers may seek alternative suppliers.

If we experience disruptions or failures in our manufacturing processes or the processes of our subcontractors, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to meet customer quality, performance and reliability standards.

Our customers specify quality, performance and reliability standards that we must meet. If our products do not meet these standards, we may be required to rework or replace the products. Our products may contain undetected defects or failures that only become evident after we commence volume shipments, which we may experience from time to time. Other defects or failures may also occur in the future. If such failures or defects occur, we could: (i) lose revenues; (ii) incur increased costs such as warranty expense and costs associated with customer support; (iii) experience delays, cancellations or rescheduling of orders for our products; (iv) experience increased product returns or discounts; or (v) damage our reputation which could make it difficult for us to sell our products to existing and prospective customers. We also depend on certain vendors for components, equipment and services. We maintain stringent policies regarding qualification of these vendors. However, these vendors’ processes may vary in reliability or quality, which could negatively affect our products. If we fail to meet customer standards for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our dependence on external semiconductor component suppliers, assembly and test operations subcontractors could lead to delays in or reductions of product shipments.          

Our products contain numerous component parts, substrates, GaAs, GaN and silicon-based products, obtained from external suppliers. The use of external suppliers involves a number of risks, including the possibility of material disruptions in the supply of key components and the lack of control over delivery schedules, capacity constraints, manufacturing yields, quality, fabrication costs, warranty issues and protection of intellectual property. We do not assemble or test all of our ICs or multi-chip modules. Instead, we provide the IC die and, in some cases, packaging and other components to assemble and test to external subcontractors, located primarily in Asia. If these vendors’ processes vary in reliability or quality, they could negatively affect our products. If we are unable to obtain sufficient high quality and timely component parts, assembly or test service, if we experience delays in transferring or requalifying our production between suppliers, assembly or test locations or if means of transportation to or from these locations are interrupted, we would experience increased costs, delays or reductions in product shipment, and/or reduced product yields, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Sources for certain components, materials, equipment and repair services are limited, which could result in delays or reductions in product shipments.

We do not manufacture any of the starting epitaxial wafers, packaging or passive components used in the production of our GaAs ICs. Such wafers, packaging and passive components are available from a limited number of sources. To the extent that we or our subcontractors are unable to obtain these wafers, packaging or passive components in the required quantities, as has occurred from time to time in the past, we could experience delays or reductions in product shipments, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on a limited number of vendors to supply, service, maintain, and repair the equipment used in our manufacturing processes. Should timely repair services be unavailable, we could experience substantial delays in production. When demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment is high, lead times for delivery of such equipment can be substantial. We cannot assure you that we would not lose potential sales if required manufacturing equipment is unavailable and, as a result, we are unable to maintain or increase our production levels. A delay for any reason in increasing capacity would limit our ability to increase sales volumes, which would harm our relationships with customers and our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely be materially and adversely affected.

The variability of our manufacturing yields may affect our gross margins.

Our manufacturing yields vary significantly among products, depending on the complexity of a particular IC’s design and our experience in manufacturing that type of IC. We have experienced difficulties in achieving planned yields in the past, particularly in pre-production and upon initial commencement of full production volumes, which have adversely affected our gross margins.

Regardless of the process technology used, the fabrication of ICs is a highly complex and precise process. Problems in the fabrication process can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous ICs on each wafer to be nonfunctional, thereby reducing yields. These difficulties can include: (i) defects in masks, which are used to transfer circuit patterns onto our wafers; (ii) impurities in the materials used; (iii) operator errors; (iv) contamination of the manufacturing environment; (v) equipment failure; and (vi) interruptions in electrical supply.

Many of our manufacturing costs are fixed and average selling prices for our products are unlikely to rise, and may decline over time. Therefore, it is critical for us, particularly within mobile markets, to increase the number of shippable ICs per wafer and increase the production volume of wafers in order to maintain or improve our results of operations. Yield decreases can result in substantially higher unit costs, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and have done so in the past. We cannot assure you that we will not suffer periodic yield problems, particularly during the early production of new products or introduction of new process technologies. If any new yield problems were to arise, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Unfavorable general economic conditions in individual or world markets could negatively impact our financial performance.                              

Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown in the United States or in one or more of our other major markets, could result in lower demand for some of our products, longer sales cycles or increased price competition. Our customer base includes equipment manufacturers and designers that are reliant on consumer demand, particularly in mobile markets. In times of economic downturn, consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending, which could soften demand for our customers’ products and could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our GaAs semiconductors may cease to be competitive with silicon alternatives.

Within our product portfolio, we manufacture and sell GaAs semiconductor devices and components, which tend to be more expensive than their silicon counterparts. The cost differential between our devices and components and those that are silicon based is due to higher costs of raw materials and higher unit costs associated with smaller sized wafers and lower production volumes. We expect the cost of producing GaAs devices to continue to exceed the cost of producing their silicon counterparts for the foreseeable future. In addition, silicon semiconductor technologies are widely-used process technologies for certain ICs and these technologies continue to improve in performance. Therefore, to remain competitive, we must offer GaAs products that provide superior performance over their silicon-based counterparts. If we do not continue to offer products that provide sufficiently superior performance to justify their higher cost, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Further, we cannot assure you that there will continue to be products and markets that require the performance attributes of GaAs solutions and if demand for such products or in such markets were to decline our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property rights or in avoiding claims that we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain patents and copyrights. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized third parties may violate our patents or copyrights. In addition to intellectual property that we have patented and copyrighted, we also rely on trade secrets, technical know-how and other non-patented proprietary information relating to our product development and manufacturing activities, which we seek to protect, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our collaborators and employees. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or independently discovered by others.

We seek to operate without infringing on the intellectual property rights of third parties. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we have been notified, and may be notified in the future, that we may be infringing on certain patents and/or other intellectual property rights of other parties. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to litigation to defend our products or processes against claims of patent infringement or other intellectual property claims. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. If we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot assure investors that we would be able to obtain any required licenses on commercially reasonable terms and we may be required to pay substantial damages, including treble damages, and cease production of our work product or use of one or more manufacturing processes. Even if we are ultimately successful, patent litigation can be time consuming, disruptive to management and expensive. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We face a risk that capital needed for our business will not be available when we need it.

We believe that our existing sources of capital, including our existing cash and available credit facility, will be adequate to satisfy operational needs and anticipated capital needs for a least the next twelve months. We may elect to finance all or part of our future capital requirements through additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing would be available on satisfactory terms.

On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provides the Company with a two-year revolving credit facility of $10,000,000 that expires on October 24, 2016. The Credit Agreement enables borrowings based upon accounts receivable and is secured by certain insured accounts receivable and substantially all of the of Company’s other assets. The SVB Loan Agreement requires compliance with certain covenants, including minimum EBITDA (as defined in the SVB Loan Agreement) and quick ratio levels, in addition to certain capital expenditure limits which may limit our ability to borrow under the facility if the covenants are not met.

Further, conditions existing in the U.S. capital markets, as well as the then current condition of the Company may impact our ability to raise capital to meet our needs on a timely basis or at all. Failure to obtain capital when required could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel and the loss of a key executive could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

A small number of key executive officers manage our business. Their departure could have a material and adverse effect on our operations. We believe that our future success will also depend in large part on our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, technical sales and marketing personnel, design and application engineers, as well as senior management. We believe that there is, and will continue to be, intense competition for qualified personnel in the semiconductor industry as the wired and wireless communications markets continue to evolve. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in retaining our key personnel or in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, especially during periods of poor operating performance and/or weak performance of our common stock. Further, we do not presently maintain key-man life insurance for any of our key executive officers. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees or our inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material effect on our ability to operate our business, to implement our business strategy and to respond to the rapidly changing market conditions in which we operate and therefore our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may pursue selective investments, acquisitions and alliances; the management and integration of additional operations could be expensive and divert management time; and acquisitions may dilute the ownership of our stockholders.                              

Although we have invested in the past, and intend to continue to invest, significant resources in internal research and development activities, the complexity and rapidity of technological changes and the significant expense of internal research and development make it impractical for us to pursue development of all technological solutions on our own. On an ongoing basis, we review investment, alliance and acquisition prospects that would complement our product offerings, augment our market coverage or enhance our technological capabilities. Our ability to complete acquisitions or alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited to, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, acquisitions and alliances involve risks that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including the management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions and difficulties in integrating and managing the additional operations and personnel of acquired companies.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the capital necessary to consummate acquisitions or alliances on satisfactory terms, if at all. Further, any businesses that we acquire will likely have their own capital needs, which may be significant, and which we could be called upon to satisfy independent of the acquisition price. Future acquisitions or alliances could result in the incurrence of debt, costs and contingent liabilities which could subject us to substantial and burdensome covenants, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The growth that may result from future acquisitions or alliances may place significant strains on our resources, systems and management. If we are unable to effectively manage such growth by implementing systems, expanding our infrastructure and hiring, training and managing employees, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Finally, if we issue equity securities in order to acquire another business, our stockholders’ interest in us, or the combined company, could be materially diluted. Further, in periods following an acquisition, we will be required to evaluate goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets for impairment. When such assets are found to be impaired, they will be written down to estimated fair value, with a charge against earnings which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The market for our common stock and the volume of trading in such stock could be adversely affected if the stock is delisted from the NASDAQ exchange.

                The Company’s common stock currently trades on the NASDAQ exchange (”NASDAQ”).  On August 11, 2014, the Company received a letter from the staff of NASDAQ, informing the Company that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00, a requirement for listing on NASDAQ.  The Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 9, 2015, during which to regain compliance. On February 9, 2015, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ affirming that the Company had regained compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule.  Therefore, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on NASDAQ.  If the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock falls below $1.00 for another 30 consecutive business day period, then the Company would be subject to delisting.  Should this occur, the market for our common stock and the volume of trading in such stock could be adversely affected.

Because our results of operations can vary significantly, the price of our common stock can fluctuate.

As a result of the variability of our results of operation, we may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results. Investors should not rely on our results of operations for any previous period as an indicator of what results may be for any future period. Failure of our operating results to meet the expectations of analysts or investors could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock.

We have had significant volatility in our stock price which may continue in the future, and, therefore, you may be unable to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid for such shares.

The trading price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate significantly. Such fluctuations may be influenced by many factors, including: (i) our operating results and prospects; (ii) the operating results and prospects of our major customers; (iii) announcements by our competitors; (iv) the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock; (v) investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate; (vi) changes in our earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts covering our stock; (vii) general financial and other market conditions; and (viii) domestic and international economic conditions.

Further, public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility, particularly in the technology sectors of the market. This volatility disproportionately affected and may in the future affect the market prices of securities of many technology companies, including our Company, for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. In addition, fluctuations in our stock price and our valuation multiples may have made our stock attractive to momentum, hedge or day-trading investors who often shift funds into and out of stocks rapidly, exacerbating price fluctuations in either direction, particularly when viewed on a quarterly basis. Such market volatility may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Stockholders may be unable to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price paid for such shares.

We are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations both domestically and abroad.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These environmental laws and regulations include those related to the use, storage, handling, discharge and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous materials used in or resulting from our manufacturing processes. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations could subject us to substantial liability or force us to significantly change our manufacturing operations. In addition, under some of these laws and regulations, we could be held financially responsible for remedial measures if our properties are contaminated, even if we did not cause the contamination. Although we are aware of contamination resulting from historical third-party operations at one of our facilities, a prior owner of such facility has been performing and paying for the costs associated with remediation of this property pursuant to an agreement with the State of New Jersey environmental regulatory authority. However, we cannot assure you that such prior owner will continue to do so or that we will not incur any material costs or liabilities associated with compliance with environmental laws in the future. In the event that the prior owner fails to execute the remediation or that we incur material costs or liabilities resulting from compliance with these laws, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

New regulations related to “conflict minerals” may force us to incur additional expenses, may make our supply chain more complex and may result in damage to our reputation with customers.

On August 22, 2012, the SEC adopted a final rule to implement Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) which requires new disclosures for companies regarding the use of certain minerals and metals, known as “conflict minerals”, in their products, whether or not these products are manufactured by third parties. This final rule requires companies to perform due diligence, disclose and report whether or not such minerals originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. Compliance with these requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of minerals used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, including our products. In addition, we have incurred and will continue to incur additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to determining the source of any of the relevant minerals and metals used in our products. Since our supply chain is complex, we may not be able to sufficiently verify the origins for these minerals and metals used in our products through the due diligence procedures that we implement, which may harm our reputation. In such event, we may also face difficulties in satisfying customers who require that all of the components of our products are certified as conflict mineral free. Pursuant to the disclosure rules, we timely filed our first report with the SEC for the 2013 calendar year. We expect to timely file for calendar year 2014. The cost of compliance or failure to comply with the requirements could have a material and adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain provisions in our governing documents and of Delaware law could deter, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us and that could deprive shareholders of an opportunity to obtain a takeover premium for our common stock.               

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. Together, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated by-laws, and certain provisions of Delaware law may discourage transactions that otherwise could provide for the payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our common stock and could also limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.

Our WiFi infrastructure products include PAs and FEICs that enable wireless connectivity for infrastructure and multimedia applications, including access points, routers, media gateways, and set-top boxes. Our wireless infrastructure solutions include PAs that are crucial components in 3G and 4G Small-Cell base stations, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and CPE devices that help carriers expand broadband network coverage and support greater levels of data transmission. Our PAs are used in a variety of 3G and 4G IoT applications, including automotive, M2M, and industrial devices.

Our WiFi mobile products include FEICs and PAs that are designed to enable WiFi connectivity in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and gaming systems. Supporting the latest 802.11 standards, our FEICs ensure optimal WiFi performance. Our cellular products include PAs that enable 3G and 4G wireless connectivity in mobile handsets, smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. We believe our products and services are well positioned to address these market opportunities by delivering exceptional performance and value in the infrastructure and mobile markets, as well as cost-effective, high-volume foundry services for the sensing markets.

Our strategy is focused on manufacturing and delivering RF products that offer greater performance, reliability, and integration to enable high-speed data communications and transmissions, as well as compelling Foundry services that provide designers with scalability and greater value. We are a customer-centric organization that works closely with leading equipment designers and manufacturers to improve data transmission quality and system capacity. We also collaborate with industry-leading chipset providers where our functionality enhances their reference designs. These relationships enable us to target emerging trends in the market and help our customers achieve their performance, integration, and manufacturing goals.

Leveraging a variety of advanced internal and external technologies and materials, including MESFET, InGaP-Plus™, CMOS, GaAs, and GaN, our solutions deliver exceptional performance and integration. We believe that when used in our customers’ data transmission and communication devices, our products cost-effectively enhance RF performance, reliability, and overall functionality.

Our six-inch diameter GaAs fab located at our corporate headquarters in Warren, New Jersey, has been operational since 1999. We also have Foundry arrangements with several companies to supply alternate technologies and supplement our existing wafer fab capabilities. This structure provides us with access to unique technologies and flexible capacity without the requisite capital investment.

In mid 2014, we implemented a strategic restructuring plan to better address growth opportunities in infrastructure markets and to lower our operating costs (“Strategic Restructuring”). Our strategy included expanding our presence in the infrastructure space and reducing the fixed costs associated with certain legacy mobile activities through a resizing of our staff and manufacturing capability.

We have only one reportable segment. For financial information related to such segment and certain geographic areas, see Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES & SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

We believe the following accounting policies are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. Such accounting policies may require management to exercise a higher degree of judgment and make estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

		Effect if Actual Results Differ
Description	Judgments and Uncertainties	From Assumptions
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order.  We maintain revenue allowances for price protection and stock rotation for certain distributor sales. These allowances are recorded upon shipment and calculated based on distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms.	Our revenue recognition accounting methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the value of future credits to customers for price protection and stock rotation. Our estimates of the amount and timing of the reserves is based primarily on distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms.	We have not made any material changes in our accounting methodology used to record revenue allowances for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions that would have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from our customers’ failure to make payments. The reserve is based on historical experience and an analysis of credit risk.	Our allowance for doubtful accounts methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to apply judgment to evaluate credit risk and collectability of aged accounts receivables based on historical experience and forward looking assumptions.	We have not made any material changes in our accounting methodology used to create and maintain the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions that would have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Inventory Valuation
We value our inventory at lower of cost or market (LCM), using the first-in, first-out method. We establish reserves for excess and obsolete inventory based upon a review of forecasted short-term demand in relation to on-hand inventory, salability, general market conditions, and product life cycles.	Our inventory reserves contain uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding historical experience, forecasted demand and technological obsolescence.	We have not made any material changes to our inventory reserve methodology for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not believe that significant changes will be made in future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate these reserves. However, if our estimates are inaccurate or technological changes affect consumer demand, we may be exposed to unforeseen gains or losses. A 10% difference in our inventory reserves at December 31, 2014 would affect our consolidated financial statements for the year then ended by approximately $0.7 million.

		Effect if Actual Results Differ
Description	Judgments and Uncertainties	From Assumptions
Warranty Costs
We provide for potential warranty claims by recording a current charge to income. We estimate potential claims by examining current and historical returns, current economic conditions and contractual terms to provide for an amount which we believe will cover future warranty obligations for products sold.	Our warranty reserve methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the value of future product returns by customers. Our estimates of the amount and timing of the reserves is based primarily on historical experience and specific contractual arrangements.	We have not made any material changes to our warranty reserve methodology for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions that would have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Marketable Securities
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices or independent valuation models, which uses a combination of two calculations: (1) a discounted cash flow model and (2) a market comparables method. We review our investments on an ongoing basis for indications of possible impairment, and if an impairment is identified and considered other-than-temporary, it is recorded as a charge to income. The primary factors we consider in classifying the timing of an impairment are the extent to which and period of time that the fair value of each investment has declined below its cost basis. Unrealized improvement gains in value subsequent to recording an impairment charge to income are reflected in other comprehensive income, whereas realized gains and losses are recorded through Other income (expense). The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for accretion of market discounts over the effective life of the debt securities and recorded through interest income.	The valuations include numerous assumptions such as assessments of the underlying structure of each security, expected cash flows, discount rates, credit ratings, workout periods and overall capital market liquidity. Further, the determination of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary requires significant judgment regarding the extent and timing of declines in value versus its cost basis.	While we have not made any material changes to our valuation methodology for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, capital market expectations, liquidity and rates have fluctuated in the periods. As of December 31, 2014, we have no investments in marketable securities.

		Effect if Actual Results Differ
Description	Judgments and Uncertainties	From Assumptions
Stock-Based Compensation
We have a stock-based compensation plan which includes non-qualified stock options, share awards, and an employee stock purchase plan. See Note 10 of Item 8 for a discussion of our stock-based compensation programs. We determine the fair value of stock-based compensation for our non-qualified stock options and employee stock purchase plans at the date of grant using the Black Scholes options-pricing model. Market performance based awards are valued with the assistance of a valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model and amortized over the performance period. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant contains assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, risk-free rate, the expected life and potential forfeitures of awards. Management periodically evaluates these assumptions and updates stock-based compensation expense accordingly.	Option-pricing models and generally accepted valuation techniques require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to determine the fair value of our awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future rates of volatility of our stock price, employee turnover and employee stock option exercise behaviors. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and stock based compensation recognized by the Company.	We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology we used to calculate stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in future estimates or assumptions used to determine stock-based compensation expense.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets is primarily comprised of fixed assets. We regularly review these assets for indicators of impairment and assess the carrying value of the assets against market values. When an impairment exists, we record an expense to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair market value. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.	Our impairment loss calculations contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate asset fair values, including estimating future cash flows, useful lives and selecting an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.	We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology we use to assess impairment loss for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. During 2014, a net $1.9 million charge was recorded as a result of a $4.2 million write-down on certain fixed assets considered excess following our Strategic Restructuring, which netted against a $2.3 million gain on the sale of certain surplus fixed assets. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions we use to calculate long-lived asset impairment losses. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, we may record material losses.

Description	Judgments and Uncertainties	From Assumptions
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax and financial reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.	Management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we have not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes.	We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology we used to measure our deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions we use to record our valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in estimating future taxable income, we may record material income tax benefits.

2014 COMPARED TO 2013

NET SALES. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased 35.7% to $86.3 million, compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $134.2 million. The net sales decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in demand for our Mobile products in line with our Strategic Restructuring toward Infrastructure, slightly offset by increased Infrastructure product sales.

Table Of Contents

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 of the Company’s Infrastructure products increased 8.2% to $39.2 million compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $36.2 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased demand in CATV and small cell infrastructure markets.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 of the Company’s Mobile products decreased 51.9% to $47.1 million compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $98.0 million. The decrease in sales was primarily due to decreased demand for our cellular and WiFi products used in mobile applications.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for 2014 increased to 11.0% of net sales, compared with 6.2% of net sales in the prior year. The increase in gross margin, despite the reduction in revenue, was primarily due to manufacturing cost improvements achieved from restructuring and the increase in Infrastructure product mix.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT. Company-sponsored Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 30.8% during 2014 to $26.7 million from $38.6 million during 2013. The decrease was primarily due to cost savings achieved from our Strategic Restructuring and focus on Infrastructure, while limiting activities in Mobile and our tight spending focus on key projects.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 28.2% during 2014 to $17.1 million from $23.8 million in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to savings achieved from our Strategic Restructuring and ongoing cost reduction actions.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. During 2014, we executed a Strategic Restructuring that included workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 150 positions throughout the Company and recorded related restructuring charges of $4.2 million, for severance, related benefits and other costs. During 2013, we implemented a workforce reduction that eliminated approximately 25 positions throughout the Company and recorded a restructuring charge of $1.9 million, for severance, related benefits and other costs.

During 2014, Restructuring charges also included a net $1.9 million charge associated with fixed assets. During 2014, a $4.2 million fixed assets restructuring charge was recorded to write down certain surplus manufacturing assets to their current market value based on expected cash proceeds for the sale of these fixed assets. The $4.2 million charge has been reduced by a related $2.3 million gain realized on the sale of certain surplus manufacturing assets.

OTHER INCOME, NET. During 2014 and 2013, Other income of $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, was primarily from redemption proceeds received on auction rate securities which were in excess of our amortized cost basis. Our auction rate securities have been fully-liquidated as of December 31, 2014.

2013 COMPARED TO 2012

NET SALES. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased 19.2% to $134.2 million, compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $112.6 million. The net sales increase primarily resulted from an increase in demand for WiFi mobile products.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company’s Infrastructure products increased 4.7% to $36.2 million compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $34.6 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased demand for WiFi and Cellular infrastructure applications, partly offset by decreased demand for CATV applications.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company’s Mobile products increased 25.6% to $98.0 million compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $78.0 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased market demand for our WiFi mobile products in cellular handset and tablet applications.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for 2013 increased to 6.2% of net sales, compared with (1.1%) of net sales in the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to increased revenues and fixed production costs decreasing as a percent of revenue.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT. Company-sponsored Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 12.1% during 2013 to $38.6 million from $43.9 million during 2012. The decrease was primarily due to improved cost efficiency on our projects and cost savings achieved from restructuring.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 2.0% during 2013 to $23.8 million from $24.3 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to primarily due to savings achieved from our cost reduction and restructuring actions, partly offset by increased sales expense for WiFi.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. In the first quarter of 2013, we implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 25 positions throughout the Company, resulting in restructuring charges of approximately $1.9 million for severance, related benefits and other costs. During 2012, we implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 40 positions throughout the Company, resulting in restructuring charges of $2.3 million for severance, related benefits and other costs.

OTHER INCOME, NET. During 2013 and 2012, Other income of $1.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was primarily from redemptions proceeds received on auction rate securities which were in excess of our amortized cost basis.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

At December 31, 2014, we had $18.4 million of cash, of which $4.0 million was drawn on our revolving credit facility.

Operations used $12.5 million in cash during 2014, primarily as a result of our operating results adjusted for non-cash expenses, as partly offset by $10.1 million in cash provided by working capital movements. Investing activities provided $6.0 million of cash during 2014, consisting of net sales of marketable securities of $3.5 million and proceeds received from the sale of fixed assets of $3.3 million, partly offset by purchases of fixed assets of $0.8 million. Financing activities provided $4.0 million of cash during 2014, from drawings under our working capital credit facility.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $2.8 million.

We believe that our existing sources of capital, including our existing cash and available credit facility, will be adequate to satisfy operational needs and anticipated capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We may elect to finance all or part of our future capital requirements through additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing would be available on satisfactory terms. See “Risk Factors –We face a risk that capital needed for our business will not be available when we need it.”

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

33

Table Of Contents

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires an entity to evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The amended guidance permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The revised guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Adoption of this guidance could impact future dispositions by the Company.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our cash and credit line borrowings are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates. We continually monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates.

The Company maintains a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Loan Agreement”), which provides the Company with a two-year revolving credit facility of $10 million that expires on October 24, 2016. The interest rate on the outstanding balance under the SVB Loan Agreement is Prime plus 0.5%. As of December 31, 2014, $4.0 million was outstanding under the SVB Loan Agreement. Our primary interest rate exposure results from changes in short-term interest rates. Therefore, a 100 basis-point increase in the Prime rate could result in incremental interest expense of approximately $0.04 million. We have not entered into any interest rate hedging arrangements.

We maintain our cash primarily in business operating cash accounts and money market funds in order to protect principal, maintain liquidity as well as fund operations. An increase in interest rates would generate additional interest income for us from these low risk cash equivalents, which would partially offset the adverse impact of the additional interest expense. Fluctuations in interest rates can have an impact on our future cash interest streams and future earnings, but the impact of such fluctuations are not expected to be material.

We believe that the effects of changes in interest rates are limited and would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global leader in technology, design, and manufacturing of RF semiconductor solutions for infrastructure and mobile communications and data transmission markets. The Company’s product portfolio includes line amplifiers, reverse path amplifiers, PAs, and FEICs. CATV products provide the critical link within CATV infrastructure communications networks, as well as CPE devices, such as set-top boxes and cable modems. WiFi infrastructure products enable wireless connectivity for infrastructure and multimedia applications, including access points, routers, media gateways, and set-top boxes. Wireless infrastructure products are components in 3G and 4G Small-Cell base stations, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and CPE devices that help carriers expand broadband network coverage and support greater levels of data transmission. Cellular infrastructure products are also used in 3G and 4G IoT applications, including automotive, M2M, and industrial devices. WiFi mobile products are designed to enable WiFi connectivity in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and portable gaming systems. Cellular mobile products enable 3G and 4G wireless connectivity in mobile handsets, smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Our newly introduced Foundry services offer capacity for large-scale VCSEL wafer processing and testing.

The Company designs, develops, and manufactures RFIC’s primarily using GaAs compound semiconductor substrates with various process technologies, including MESFET, pHEMT and HBT. The Company’s patented InGaP-Plus technology, combines InGaP HBT and pHEMT processes on a single substrate, enabling it to integrate the PA function and the RF active switch function on the same die. Additionally, the Company has VCSEL process technology and test capabilities that enable high yields with enhanced uniformity. The Company fabricates substantially all of its ICs in its six-inch diameter GaAs wafer fabrication facility.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANADIGICS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these consolidated financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that affect the financial statements include, but are not limited to: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability and valuation of inventories, impairment of property and equipment, warranty reserve, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for distributor arrangements and returns, valuation of certain marketable securities, useful lives and amortization periods and recoverability of long-lived assets.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company grants trade credit to its customers, who are primarily foreign manufacturers of wireless communication devices, cable and broadcast television receivers and fiber optic communication devices. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Sales and accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from these individual customers.

Table Of Contents

Net sales to individual customers and their affiliates who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales and corresponding end application information are as follows:

	YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31
	2014						2013						2012
Customer (primary application)	$			%			$			%			$			%
Samsung Electronics (Mobile)		22,479			26	%		54,187			40	%		34,372			31	%
Huawei Technologies (Infrastructure / Mobile)		18,718			22	%		15,731			12	%		15,169			14	%
Murata (Mobile)		<10	%		<10	%		14,274			11	%		<10	%		<10	%
ZTE Corporation (Mobile)		<10	%		<10	%		<10	%		<10	%		12,818			11	%

Accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 and 2013 from the greater than 10% customers accounted for 66% and 58% of total accounts receivable, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product sales is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order. The Company sells to certain distributors who are granted limited contractual rights of return and exchange and certain pre-negotiated individual product-customer price protection. Revenue from sales of products to distributors is recognized, net of allowances, upon shipment of the products to the distributors. At the time of shipment, title transfers to the distributors and payment from the distributors is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. Revenue is appropriately reduced for the portion of shipments subject to return, exchange or price protection. Allowances for the distributors are recorded upon shipment and calculated based on the distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. The Company believes it can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner. The Company charges customers for the costs of certain contractually-committed inventories that remain at the end of a product's life. Such amounts are recognized as cancellation revenue when cash is received. The value of the inventory related to cancellation revenue may, in some instances, have been reserved during prior periods in accordance with the Company’s inventory obsolescence policy. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments, based upon historical experience.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates, by examining historical returns and other information it deems critical, will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant, furniture and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method over 3-7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized and included in depreciation over the useful life of the leasehold or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the income tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the development of new products to expense when incurred.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices or as needed, independent valuation models, with unrealized gains and losses reported in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Unrealized losses are reviewed and those considered other than temporary are recorded as a charge to other income (expense). Subsequent gains or losses upon redemption or sale of these securities in excess of, or below, their adjusted cost basis are also recorded as other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of market discounts over the securities’ effective life or maturity and recorded in interest income. See Note 4 for a summary of marketable securities.

INVENTORY

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market ("LCM"), using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes production overhead costs to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of its production facility and in periods of abnormally low utilization charges the related expenses as a period cost in the statement of operations. In addition to LCM limitations, the Company reserves against inventory items for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory is primarily based upon forecasted short-term demand for the product. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In the event the Company sells inventory that had been covered by a specific inventory reserve, the sale is recorded at the actual selling price and the related cost of goods sold at the full inventory cost, net of the reserve.

DEFERRED RENT

Aggregate rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms of operating leases that contain predetermined increases in rentals payable during the lease term.

Table Of Contents

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The financial statements of subsidiaries outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. The resultant translation adjustments are included in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in the determination of net income or loss.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised resulting in the issuance of common stock of the Company. Any dilution arising from the Company's outstanding stock awards will not be included where their effect is anti-dilutive.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of each of the following instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short maturity of these instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See Note 4 for additional fair value disclosures. 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans for employees and directors, which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company records stock compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to its employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires an entity to evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

44

Table Of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The amended guidance permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The revised guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Adoption of this guidance could impact future dispositions by the Company.

2. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

RESTRUCTURING

During 2014, the Company implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 150 positions throughout the Company which resulted in the Company recording a restructuring charge of $4,199 for severance, related benefits and other costs. The workforce reductions principally related to the Company’s strategic restructuring to lower operating costs while increasing its infrastructure presence (“Strategic Restructuring”).

During 2013 and 2012, the Company implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 25 and 40 positions, respectively, throughout the Company, resulting in restructuring charges of $1,915 and $2,338, respectively, for severance, related benefits and other costs.

Activity and liability balances related to the restructurings were as follows:

	Workforce-related			Lease-related			Total
December 31, 2012 balance	$	395		$	-		$	395
Restructuring expense		1,915			-			1,915
Payments		(2,065	)		-			(2,065	)

Restructuring expense		4,002			197			4,199
Payments		(3,502	)		(38	)		(3,540	)
December 31, 2014 balance	$	745		$	159		$	904

OTHER CHARGES

During 2014, the Company reviewed and identified certain surplus manufacturing fixed assets and recorded a restructuring charge of $4,201 to write down certain assets to their current market value based on proceeds expected from their sale. As a result of the Strategic Restructuring, certain of these fixed assets were classified as held for sale with a value of $3,766. During 2014, the Company recorded proceeds of $3,256 on the sale of certain assets held for sale and offset their related $2,302 net gain against Restructuring charges. Improvements in the Company’s business prospects following the Strategic Restructuring resulted in the decision to retain and use certain assets previously held for sale with a carrying value of $1,764 which are now classified and depreciated within fixed assets. As of December 31, 2014, $335 represents the carrying value of the remaining assets held for sale.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $2,080 to Cost of sales for inventory write-downs on certain excess Mobile inventory.

3. SEGMENTS

The Company has one reportable segment. Its ICs are primarily manufactured using common manufacturing facilities located in the same domestic geographic area. The method for determining what information to report is based on management’s use of financial information for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. All operating expenses and assets of the Company are combined and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on an enterprise-wide basis, resulting in no additional discrete financial information or operating segment information. The Company’s business units share similar long term business models, research and development expenses and selling and administrative expenses. The Company has concluded at December 31, 2014 that it has only one reportable segment. The Company will re-assess its conclusions at least annually.

The Company classifies its revenues based upon the end application of the product in which its ICs are used. Net sales by end application are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Infrastructure	$	39,161	$	36,199	$	34,584
Mobile		47,121		98,043		78,059
Total	$	86,282	$	134,242	$	112,643

The Company sells to five geographic regions: Asia, Europe, Latin America, USA and Other. The geographic region is determined by the destination of the shipped product. Net sales to each of the five geographic regions are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Asia	$	77,954	$	125,027	$	92,652
Europe		1,458		1,680		3,881

USA		1,742		1,865		6,601
Other		-		1		408
Total	$	86,282	$	134,242	$	112,643

4. FAIR VALUE AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

As of December 31, 2014, we have no auction rate securities outstanding.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are classified in the following hierarchy:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

46

Table Of Contents

    The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents a summary of fair value information for available-for-sale securities:

					Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Security Type	Amortized Cost Basis (1)		Fair Value		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Former-auction corporate debt security (2)	$	1,800	$	2,997	$	2,997	$	-

Total at December 31, 2014	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

(1) Difference between amortized cost basis and fair value represents gross unrealized gains.

(2) Available for sale debt security with contractual maturity in excess of 10 years.

AUCTION RATE SECURITIES AND FORMER-AUCTION CORPORATE DEBT SECURITY

Auction rate securities (ARS) were a short-term cash management instrument used by the market and the Company prior to 2008. The instruments used a monthly Dutch auction process to provide liquidity on long-term financial instruments that reset the applicable interest rate and through the reset, allowed existing investors to rollover or liquidate their holdings at par value. During 2007 and early 2008, ARS failed to auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders.

During the first half of 2014, our Level 2 former-auction corporate debt security and remaining Level 3 preferred equity action rate security sold for $2,960 and $568, respectively, resulting in a realized gain of $1,728, which was recorded to Other income, net. During 2013, two Level 2 and one Level 3 ARS redeemed for $6,739, resulting in a realized gain of $1,684, which was recorded to Other income, net.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each type of security valued using a Level 3 valuation.

8. INCOME TAXES

There were no current and deferred components of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

Deferred tax assets require a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Whereas realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the timing and magnitude of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax attributes, management began recording a full valuation allowance in 2001. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are changed.

Significant components of the Company’s net deferred taxes as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	December 31,
	2014			2013
Deferred tax balances
Accruals/reserves	$	6,709		$	7,652
Net operating loss carryforwards		211,749			210,894
Research and experimentation credits		14,089			14,414
Deferred rent expense		400			614
Difference in basis of plant and equipment		9,445			9,791
Valuation allowance		(242,392	)		(243,365	)
Net deferred tax assets		-			-

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $612,604 for federal and $272,022 for state tax reporting purposes. The federal carryforward will begin to expire in 2019, and the state carryforwards have begun to expire. A portion of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods due to the “change of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. A portion of these carryforwards may expire before becoming available to reduce future income tax liabilities.

At December 31, 2014, $25,149 of the deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards and an equivalent amount of deferred tax asset valuation allowance represented tax benefits associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options and vesting of restricted stock deduction over book. Such benefit, when realized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital. Included within the Company’s net operating loss tax carryforwards at December 31, 2014, the Company has excess tax benefits, related to stock-based compensation of $11,532 which are not recorded as a deferred tax asset as the amounts would not have resulted in a reduction in current taxes payable until all other tax attributes currently available to the Company were utilized. The benefit of these deductions will be recorded to additional paid-in capital at the time the tax deduction results in a reduction of current taxes payable.

The earnings associated with the Company’s investment in its foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently invested and no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes on those earnings or translation adjustments has been provided.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On December 17, 1998, the Company adopted a Shareholders’ Rights Agreement dated as of December 17, 1998 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of November 30, 2000 and Amendment No. 2 dated as of October 2, 2008), by and between ANADIGICS, Inc. and Computershare, Inc., as the Rights agent (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of ANADIGICS, Inc. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 1998. The rights were scheduled to expire on December 17, 2018, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged, pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. On April 24, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to terminate the Rights Agreement by approving an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement to accelerate the final expiration date of the rights (the “Rights”) to April 25, 2014. As a result of the Amendment, as of the close of business on April 25, 2014, the Rights are no longer outstanding nor exercisable, and the Rights Agreement was effectively terminated.

NASDAQ LISTING

The Company’s common stock currently trades on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”). On August 11, 2014, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ notifying the Company that it did not comply with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing under the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 9, 2015, during which to regain compliance. The Company's common stock subsequently maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days, from January 26, 2015 to February 6, 2015, enabling the Company to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule. The Company’s common stock will therefore maintain its listing on the NASDAQ.

STOCK OFFERING

In March 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 10,704 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share which generated net proceeds to the Company of $19,675.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to our employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has two active equity compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance to employees and/or directors and two plans (the 1995 Plan and 1997 Plan, described below) which have been terminated:

■ The 1995 Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan for Officers and Directors (terminated February 28, 2005) (1995 Plan);

■ The 1997 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (terminated February 28, 2005) (1997 Plan);

■ The Amended and Restated (as of March 30, 2013) 2005 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (2005 Plan, collectively with the 1995 Plan and the 1997 Plan, the Plans); and

■ The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESP Plan).

Employees and outside directors have been granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of common stock under the Plans. An aggregate of 4,913, 5,100 and 24,850 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan, the 1997 Plan and the 2005 Plan, respectively. The Plans provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other share based awards to eligible employees and directors, as defined in the Plans. Option grants have terms of 10 years and become exercisable in varying amounts over periods of up to three years. To date, no stock appreciation rights have been granted under the Plans.

In 1995, the Company adopted the ESP Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time employees of ANADIGICS, Inc. and part-time employees, as defined in the ESP Plan, are eligible to participate in the ESP Plan. An aggregate of 6,694 shares of common stock were reserved for offering under the ESP Plan. Offerings are made at the commencement of each calendar year and must be purchased by the end of that calendar year. Pursuant to the terms of the ESP Plan, shares purchased and the applicable per share price were 158 ($0.66), 271 ($1.64) and 407 ($2.04) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense arises from the amortization of restricted stock units, unamortized stock option grants and from the ESP Plan. The Company uses the straight-line basis in calculating stock-based compensation expense.

The table below summarizes stock-based compensation by source and by financial statement line item:

	For years ended December 31,
	2014		2013			2012
Amortization of restricted stock units	$	4,528	$	6,239		$	4,813
Amortization of ESP Plan		44		149			314
Amortization of stock option awards		100		128			670

Selling and administrative expenses		2,067		3,428			3,218
Restructuring charges		-		(71	)		65

No tax benefits have been recorded due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Under the Plans, the Company grants restricted stock units to its employees. The value of restricted stock units are fixed upon the date of grant and amortized over the related vesting period, primarily ranging up to three years. Restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The Company estimates that approximately 2.5% of its restricted stock units and stock option awards are forfeited annually (exclusive of performance-based restricted stock units and performance-based option shares, as described below). Restricted stock units do not carry voting, forfeitable dividend rights, and cannot be traded or transferred prior to vesting. Grant, vest and forfeit activity and related weighted average (WA) price per share for restricted stock units and for stock options during the period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014 is presented in tabular form below:

	Restricted Stock Units										Stock Options

(1) In the second quarter of 2013, 125 time-based and 83 (125 at maximum performance achievement) market performance-based stock options were rescinded with the consent of and without payment to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) due to the fact that the original grants with respect to which these options were a part of exceeded the sub-limits of the applicable plan by the number of shares as to which the options were rescinded.

Exercisable options and their related average exercise prices were 1,212 ($4.84), 1,840 ($5.33) and 2,011 ($5.27) as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In June 2011, the Company’s CEO was awarded a base grant of 250 market performance-based stock options contingent upon the Company’s shareholder return performance against the performance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index component companies. Following the rescission discussed in footnote (1) in the table immediately above, the base grant was reduced by 83 market performance-based stock options during the second quarter of 2013. The award and market performance was evaluated during the one, two and three-year periods following the award. The market performance-based stock options had an exercise price of $3.24, an expiration of 10 years after the grant date, and an average fair value of $2.62 on the date of grant. The fair value estimate was calculated with the assistance of a valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. In the second quarters of 2012, 2013, and 2014, 83, 42 and 42 shares, respectively, were forfeited for non-achievement of market performance goals at the end of their three year annual measurement periods.

On February 16, 2012, subject to stockholder approval of additional 2005 Plan shares at the Company’s 2013 Annual Stockholder Meeting (at which such approval was received), the Company awarded 661 time-based and 220 performance-based restricted stock units to its officers and employees. The time-based restricted stock units vested one-third on May 20, 2013 and one-third on February 18, 2014, and vest one-third on February 18, 2015. The Company performance-based restricted stock units vest based on absolute total stockholder return for one-year, two-year and three-year periods starting from the baseline date of December 31, 2011, compared to total stockholder return targets for each of the respective periods. The performance metrics for the one, two and three-year periods were not met on the Company performance-based awards, with 155 restricted stock units forfeited in 2013 and the remaining 65 restricted stock units forfeited at December 31, 2014.

On December 4, 2012, subject to stockholder approval of additional 2005 Plan shares at the Company’s 2013 Annual Stockholder Meeting (at which such approval was received), the Company awarded 660 restricted stock units to its officers and other key employees (subsequently increased by 20 units to an additional officer in July 2013). Fifty percent of these restricted stock units have time-based vesting conditions and fifty percent have performance-based vesting conditions. The restricted stock units vest one-third annually in May 2014, 2015, and 2016 (August 2014, 2015 and 2016 vest for the July 2013 grant). The Company performance-based awards were evaluated based on the Company’s adjusted cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, with 34.8% of the Company performance metrics achieved and 229 units forfeited at December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, 5 units forfeited, 37 units were released upon vest, and the remaining 69 units will vest over the next two years.

On February 13, 2014, the Company awarded 825 restricted stock units to its officers and other key employees (subsequently increased by 40 units awarded to an additional officer in July 2014) where fifty percent of these restricted stock units have time-based vesting conditions and fifty percent (assuming maximum goal performance) have market performance-based vesting conditions contingent upon the Company’s relative shareholder returns measured against the peer group companies. The restricted stock units will vest, if at all, one-third annually in March 2015, 2016, and 2017. The market performance-based awards will be evaluated annually in one-third increments measuring Company shareholder returns during the one, two and three year periods following the award. Company performance within the 75th percentile tier in a measurement period would result in maximum performance attainment, while performance below the 25th-percentile results in no vesting for that period. The performance-based restricted stock units have an average fair value of $1.84 on the date of grant, calculated with the assistance of a valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. As of December 31, 2014, the performance metric for year one was not met on the market performance-based awards and to date, 187 of these restricted stock units have been forfeited.

The total fair value of restricted stock vested during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $3,171, $3,052 and $2,208, respectively. The intrinsic value of exercised options during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $1, $14 and $512, respectively.

VALUATION FOR ESP PLAN AND STOCK OPTION AWARDS

The fair value of these equity awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions and fair values for stock-based compensation grants used for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below.

	Year ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Stock option awards:
Risk-free interest rate		1.7	%		0.8	%		1.0	%
Expected volatility		58	%		72	%		70	%
Average expected term (in years)		5			5			5
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	0.97		$	1.36		$	1.14
ESP Plan:
Risk-free interest rate		0.3	%		0.1	%		0.2	%
Expected volatility		72	%		51	%		61	%
Average expected term		1			1			1
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Weighted average fair value of purchase option	$	0.28		$	0.55		$	0.77

The Company regularly assesses the assumptions used in its option valuation. For equity awards with an expected term of one year or less, the assumption for expected volatility is solely based on the Company’s historical volatility. For equity awards with expected terms of greater than one year, the Company used a combination of implied and historical volatility for options granted in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The expected term of the stock options is based on historical observations of employee exercise patterns combined with expectations of employee exercise behavior in the future giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards. The risk free interest rate assumption has consistently been based on the yield at the time of grant of a U.S. Treasury security with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends and has consistently assumed a 0% dividend yield.

The Company also sponsors an Employee Savings and Protection Plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code which is available to all full-time employees. Employees can make voluntary contributions up to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company previously matched 30% of employee contributions up to 10% of their gross pay; however, as a cost reduction during the second quarter of 2014, the Company discontinued matching 401(k) contributions. The Company recorded expense relating to plan contributions of $220, $829, and $855 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

13. BANK BORROWINGS UNDER CREDIT FACILITY

On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provides the Company with a two-year revolving credit facility of $10,000 that expires on October 24, 2016. The Credit Agreement enables borrowings based upon 85% of eligible accounts receivable and is secured by certain insured accounts receivable and substantially all of the Company’s other assets. The SVB Loan Agreement requires compliance with certain covenants, including minimum EBITDA (as defined in the SVB Loan Agreement) and quick ratio levels, in addition to certain capital expenditure limits. The interest rate on the outstanding balance under the SVB Loan Agreement is Prime plus 0.5%. The SVB Loan Agreement contains a fee for any unused portion of the facility. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its covenants and $4,000 was outstanding under the SVB Loan Agreement.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. The PNC Credit Agreement was amended in December 2013 and further amended on April 30, 2014, to revise the minimum EBITDA covenants. The PNC Credit Agreement provided the Company with a three-year revolving credit facility of $11,000 that was scheduled to expire on April 30, 2016. The PNC Credit Agreement was secured by certain cash balances with borrowing availability based upon accounts receivable and compliance with covenants, including minimum EBITDA (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement) and certain capital expenditure limits. The Company was permitted to elect to borrow at rates approximating LIBOR plus 3.25%. The PNC Credit Agreement contained a fee for any unused portion of the facility. On April 30, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment of Account which secured the Company’s existing and future obligations to the Lenders with a Company business account. On October 24, 2014, all outstanding amounts due under the PNC Credit Facility were satisfied in full and the PNC Credit Facility was terminated.

14. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to ordinary course litigation arising out of the operation of our business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

15. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)

2014 and 2013 Quarterly Financial Data

The following table sets forth certain unaudited results of operations for each quarter during 2014 and 2013. The unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial data shown. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be attained for any future period. Basic and diluted loss per share are computed independently for each of the periods presented.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2014, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework of Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included below.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Controls

Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

ANADIGICS, Inc.

We have audited ANADIGICS, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). ANADIGICS, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, ANADIGICS, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of ANADIGICS, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 of ANADIGICS Inc. and our report dated March 6, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

RESTRUCTURING

During 2014, the Company implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 150 positions throughout the Company which resulted in the Company recording a restructuring charge of $4,199 for severance, related benefits and other costs.

During 2013 and 2012, the Company implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 25 and 40 positions, respectively, throughout the Company, resulting in restructuring charges of $1,915 and $2,338, respectively, for severance, related benefits and other costs.

Activity and liability balances related to the restructurings were as follows:

During 2014, the Company reviewed and identified certain surplus manufacturing fixed assets and recorded a restructuring charge of $4,201 to write down certain assets to their current market value based on proceeds expected from their sale. As a result of the Strategic Restructuring, certain of these fixed assets were classified as held for sale with a value of $3,766. During 2014, the Company recorded proceeds of $3,256 on the sale of certain assets held for sale and offset their related $2,302 net gain against Restructuring charges. Improvements in the Company’s business prospects following the Strategic Restructuring resulted in the decision to retain and use certain assets previously held for sale with a carrying value of $1,764 which are now classified and depreciated within fixed assets. As of December 31, 2014, $335 represents the carrying value of the remaining assets held for sale.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $2,080 to Cost of sales for inventory write-downs on certain excess Mobile inventory.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global leader in technology, design, and manufacturing of RF semiconductor solutions for infrastructure and mobile communications and data transmission markets. The Company’s product portfolio includes line amplifiers, reverse path amplifiers, PAs, and FEICs. CATV products provide the critical link within CATV infrastructure communications networks, as well as CPE devices, such as set-top boxes and cable modems. WiFi infrastructure products enable wireless connectivity for infrastructure and multimedia applications, including access points, routers, media gateways, and set-top boxes. Wireless infrastructure products are components in 3G and 4G Small-Cell base stations, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and CPE devices that help carriers expand broadband network coverage and support greater levels of data transmission. Cellular infrastructure products are also used in 3G and 4G IoT applications, including automotive, M2M, and industrial devices. WiFi mobile products are designed to enable WiFi connectivity in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and portable gaming systems. Cellular mobile products enable 3G and 4G wireless connectivity in mobile handsets, smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Our newly introduced Foundry services offer capacity for large-scale VCSEL wafer processing and testing.

The Company designs, develops, and manufactures RFIC’s primarily using GaAs compound semiconductor substrates with various process technologies, including MESFET, pHEMT and HBT. The Company’s patented InGaP-Plus technology, combines InGaP HBT and pHEMT processes on a single substrate, enabling it to integrate the PA function and the RF active switch function on the same die. Additionally, the Company has VCSEL process technology and test capabilities that enable high yields with enhanced uniformity. The Company fabricates substantially all of its ICs in its six-inch diameter GaAs wafer fabrication facility.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANADIGICS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these consolidated financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that affect the financial statements include, but are not limited to: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability and valuation of inventories, impairment of property and equipment, warranty reserve, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for distributor arrangements and returns, valuation of certain marketable securities, useful lives and amortization periods and recoverability of long-lived assets.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company grants trade credit to its customers, who are primarily foreign manufacturers of wireless communication devices, cable and broadcast television receivers and fiber optic communication devices. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Sales and accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from these individual customers.

Net sales to individual customers and their affiliates who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales and corresponding end application information are as follows:

	YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31
	2014						2013						2012
Customer (primary application)	$			%			$			%			$			%
Samsung Electronics (Mobile)		22,479			26	%		54,187			40	%		34,372			31	%
Huawei Technologies (Infrastructure / Mobile)		18,718			22	%		15,731			12	%		15,169			14	%
Murata (Mobile)		<10	%		<10	%		14,274			11	%		<10	%		<10	%
ZTE Corporation (Mobile)		<10	%		<10	%		<10	%		<10	%		12,818			11	%

Accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 and 2013 from the greater than 10% customers accounted for 66% and 58% of total accounts receivable, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product sales is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order. The Company sells to certain distributors who are granted limited contractual rights of return and exchange and certain pre-negotiated individual product-customer price protection. Revenue from sales of products to distributors is recognized, net of allowances, upon shipment of the products to the distributors. At the time of shipment, title transfers to the distributors and payment from the distributors is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. Revenue is appropriately reduced for the portion of shipments subject to return, exchange or price protection. Allowances for the distributors are recorded upon shipment and calculated based on the distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. The Company believes it can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner. The Company charges customers for the costs of certain contractually-committed inventories that remain at the end of a product's life. Such amounts are recognized as cancellation revenue when cash is received. The value of the inventory related to cancellation revenue may, in some instances, have been reserved during prior periods in accordance with the Company’s inventory obsolescence policy. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments, based upon historical experience.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates, by examining historical returns and other information it deems critical, will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant, furniture and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method over 3-7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized and included in depreciation over the useful life of the leasehold or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the income tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the development of new products to expense when incurred.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices or as needed, independent valuation models, with unrealized gains and losses reported in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Unrealized losses are reviewed and those considered other than temporary are recorded as a charge to other income (expense). Subsequent gains or losses upon redemption or sale of these securities in excess of, or below, their adjusted cost basis are also recorded as other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of market discounts over the securities’ effective life or maturity and recorded in interest income. See Note 4 for a summary of marketable securities.

INVENTORY

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market ("LCM"), using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes production overhead costs to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of its production facility and in periods of abnormally low utilization charges the related expenses as a period cost in the statement of operations. In addition to LCM limitations, the Company reserves against inventory items for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory is primarily based upon forecasted short-term demand for the product. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In the event the Company sells inventory that had been covered by a specific inventory reserve, the sale is recorded at the actual selling price and the related cost of goods sold at the full inventory cost, net of the reserve.

DEFERRED RENT

Aggregate rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms of operating leases that contain predetermined increases in rentals payable during the lease term.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The financial statements of subsidiaries outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. The resultant translation adjustments are included in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in the determination of net income or loss.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised resulting in the issuance of common stock of the Company. Any dilution arising from the Company's outstanding stock awards will not be included where their effect is anti-dilutive.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of each of the following instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short maturity of these instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See Note 4 for additional fair value disclosures. 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans for employees and directors, which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company records stock compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to its employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires an entity to evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The amended guidance permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The revised guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Adoption of this guidance could impact future dispositions by the Company.

2014 and 2013 Quarterly Financial Data

The following table sets forth certain unaudited results of operations for each quarter during 2014 and 2013. The unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial data shown. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be attained for any future period. Basic and diluted loss per share are computed independently for each of the periods presented. Accordingly, the sum of the quarterly loss per share may not agree to the total for the year (in thousands, except for per share data).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company grants trade credit to its customers, who are primarily foreign manufacturers of wireless communication devices, cable and broadcast television receivers and fiber optic communication devices. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Sales and accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from these individual customers.

Net sales to individual customers and their affiliates who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales and corresponding end application information are as follows:

	YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31
	2014						2013						2012
Customer (primary application)	$			%			$			%			$			%

Accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 and 2013 from the greater than 10% customers accounted for 66% and 58% of total accounts receivable, respectively.

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global leader in technology, design, and manufacturing of RF semiconductor solutions for infrastructure and mobile communications and data transmission markets. The Company’s product portfolio includes line amplifiers, reverse path amplifiers, PAs, and FEICs. CATV products provide the critical link within CATV infrastructure communications networks, as well as CPE devices, such as set-top boxes and cable modems. WiFi infrastructure products enable wireless connectivity for infrastructure and multimedia applications, including access points, routers, media gateways, and set-top boxes. Wireless infrastructure products are components in 3G and 4G Small-Cell base stations, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and CPE devices that help carriers expand broadband network coverage and support greater levels of data transmission. Cellular infrastructure products are also used in 3G and 4G IoT applications, including automotive, M2M, and industrial devices. WiFi mobile products are designed to enable WiFi connectivity in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and portable gaming systems. Cellular mobile products enable 3G and 4G wireless connectivity in mobile handsets, smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Our newly introduced Foundry services offer capacity for large-scale VCSEL wafer processing and testing.

The Company designs, develops, and manufactures RFIC’s primarily using GaAs compound semiconductor substrates with various process technologies, including MESFET, pHEMT and HBT. The Company’s patented InGaP-Plus technology, combines InGaP HBT and pHEMT processes on a single substrate, enabling it to integrate the PA function and the RF active switch function on the same die. Additionally, the Company has VCSEL process technology and test capabilities that enable high yields with enhanced uniformity. The Company fabricates substantially all of its ICs in its six-inch diameter GaAs wafer fabrication facility.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANADIGICS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that affect the financial statements include, but are not limited to: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability and valuation of inventories, impairment of property and equipment, warranty reserve, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for distributor arrangements and returns, valuation of certain marketable securities, useful lives and amortization periods and recoverability of long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product sales is recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order. The Company sells to certain distributors who are granted limited contractual rights of return and exchange and certain pre-negotiated individual product-customer price protection. Revenue from sales of products to distributors is recognized, net of allowances, upon shipment of the products to the distributors. At the time of shipment, title transfers to the distributors and payment from the distributors is due on our standard commercial terms; payment terms are not contingent upon resale of the products. Revenue is appropriately reduced for the portion of shipments subject to return, exchange or price protection. Allowances for the distributors are recorded upon shipment and calculated based on the distributors’ indicated intent, historical data, current economic conditions and contractual terms. The Company believes it can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner. The Company charges customers for the costs of certain contractually-committed inventories that remain at the end of a product's life. Such amounts are recognized as cancellation revenue when cash is received. The value of the inventory related to cancellation revenue may, in some instances, have been reserved during prior periods in accordance with the Company’s inventory obsolescence policy. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts [Policy Text Block]

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments, based upon historical experience.

Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company provides, by a current charge to income, an amount it estimates, by examining historical returns and other information it deems critical, will be needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold during the year. The liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant, furniture and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method over 3-7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized and included in depreciation over the useful life of the leasehold or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the income tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a benefit or provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense. No unrecognized tax benefits, interest or penalties were accrued at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s U.S. federal net operating losses have occurred since 1998 and as such, tax years subject to potential tax examination could apply from that date because carrying-back net operating loss opens the relevant year to audit.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the development of new products to expense when incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices or as needed, independent valuation models, with unrealized gains and losses reported in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Unrealized losses are reviewed and those considered other than temporary are recorded as a charge to other income (expense). Subsequent gains or losses upon redemption or sale of these securities in excess of, or below, their adjusted cost basis are also recorded as other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of market discounts over the securities’ effective life or maturity and recorded in interest income. See Note 4 for a summary of marketable securities.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INVENTORY

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market ("LCM"), using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes production overhead costs to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of its production facility and in periods of abnormally low utilization charges the related expenses as a period cost in the statement of operations. In addition to LCM limitations, the Company reserves against inventory items for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory is primarily based upon forecasted short-term demand for the product. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In the event the Company sells inventory that had been covered by a specific inventory reserve, the sale is recorded at the actual selling price and the related cost of goods sold at the full inventory cost, net of the reserve.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

DEFERRED RENT

Aggregate rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms of operating leases that contain predetermined increases in rentals payable during the lease term.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The financial statements of subsidiaries outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. The resultant translation adjustments are included in other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in the determination of net income or loss.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised resulting in the issuance of common stock of the Company. Any dilution arising from the Company's outstanding stock awards will not be included where their effect is anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of each of the following instruments approximates their carrying value because of the short maturity of these instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See Note 4 for additional fair value disclosures.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans for employees and directors, which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company records stock compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to its employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires an entity to evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The amended guidance permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The revised guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Adoption of this guidance could impact future dispositions by the Company.

Note 10 - Employee Benefit Plans

Dec. 31, 2014

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]

Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to our employees and directors. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period which in most cases is the vesting period.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has two active equity compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance to employees and/or directors and two plans (the 1995 Plan and 1997 Plan, described below) which have been terminated:

■ The 1995 Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan for Officers and Directors (terminated February 28, 2005) (1995 Plan);

■ The 1997 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (terminated February 28, 2005) (1997 Plan);

■ The Amended and Restated (as of March 30, 2013) 2005 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (2005 Plan, collectively with the 1995 Plan and the 1997 Plan, the Plans); and

■ The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESP Plan).

Employees and outside directors have been granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of common stock under the Plans. An aggregate of 4,913, 5,100 and 24,850 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan, the 1997 Plan and the 2005 Plan, respectively. The Plans provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other share based awards to eligible employees and directors, as defined in the Plans. Option grants have terms of 10 years and become exercisable in varying amounts over periods of up to three years. To date, no stock appreciation rights have been granted under the Plans.

In 1995, the Company adopted the ESP Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time employees of ANADIGICS, Inc. and part-time employees, as defined in the ESP Plan, are eligible to participate in the ESP Plan. An aggregate of 6,694 shares of common stock were reserved for offering under the ESP Plan. Offerings are made at the commencement of each calendar year and must be purchased by the end of that calendar year. Pursuant to the terms of the ESP Plan, shares purchased and the applicable per share price were 158 ($0.66), 271 ($1.64) and 407 ($2.04) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense arises from the amortization of restricted stock units, unamortized stock option grants and from the ESP Plan. The Company uses the straight-line basis in calculating stock-based compensation expense.

The table below summarizes stock-based compensation by source and by financial statement line item:

	For years ended December 31,
	2014		2013			2012
Amortization of restricted stock units	$	4,528	$	6,239		$	4,813
Amortization of ESP Plan		44		149			314
Amortization of stock option awards		100		128			670
Total stock-based compensation	$	4,672	$	6,516		$	5,797
By Financial Statement line item
Cost of sales	$	861	$	1,041		$	888
Research and development expenses		1,744		2,118			1,626
Selling and administrative expenses		2,067		3,428			3,218
Restructuring charges		-		(71	)		65

No tax benefits have been recorded due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Under the Plans, the Company grants restricted stock units to its employees. The value of restricted stock units are fixed upon the date of grant and amortized over the related vesting period, primarily ranging up to three years. Restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The Company estimates that approximately 2.5% of its restricted stock units and stock option awards are forfeited annually (exclusive of performance-based restricted stock units and performance-based option shares, as described below). Restricted stock units do not carry voting, forfeitable dividend rights, and cannot be traded or transferred prior to vesting. Grant, vest and forfeit activity and related weighted average (WA) price per share for restricted stock units and for stock options during the period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014 is presented in tabular form below:

	Restricted Stock Units										Stock Options

(1) In the second quarter of 2013, 125 time-based and 83 (125 at maximum performance achievement) market performance-based stock options were rescinded with the consent of and without payment to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) due to the fact that the original grants with respect to which these options were a part of exceeded the sub-limits of the applicable plan by the number of shares as to which the options were rescinded.

Exercisable options and their related average exercise prices were 1,212 ($4.84), 1,840 ($5.33) and 2,011 ($5.27) as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In June 2011, the Company’s CEO was awarded a base grant of 250 market performance-based stock options contingent upon the Company’s shareholder return performance against the performance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index component companies. Following the rescission discussed in footnote (1) in the table immediately above, the base grant was reduced by 83 market performance-based stock options during the second quarter of 2013. The award and market performance was evaluated during the one, two and three-year periods following the award. The market performance-based stock options had an exercise price of $3.24, an expiration of 10 years after the grant date, and an average fair value of $2.62 on the date of grant. The fair value estimate was calculated with the assistance of a valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. In the second quarters of 2012, 2013, and 2014, 83, 42 and 42 shares, respectively, were forfeited for non-achievement of market performance goals at the end of their three year annual measurement periods.

On February 16, 2012, subject to stockholder approval of additional 2005 Plan shares at the Company’s 2013 Annual Stockholder Meeting (at which such approval was received), the Company awarded 661 time-based and 220 performance-based restricted stock units to its officers and employees. The time-based restricted stock units vested one-third on May 20, 2013 and one-third on February 18, 2014, and vest one-third on February 18, 2015. The Company performance-based restricted stock units vest based on absolute total stockholder return for one-year, two-year and three-year periods starting from the baseline date of December 31, 2011, compared to total stockholder return targets for each of the respective periods. The performance metrics for the one, two and three-year periods were not met on the Company performance-based awards, with 155 restricted stock units forfeited in 2013 and the remaining 65 restricted stock units forfeited at December 31, 2014.

On December 4, 2012, subject to stockholder approval of additional 2005 Plan shares at the Company’s 2013 Annual Stockholder Meeting (at which such approval was received), the Company awarded 660 restricted stock units to its officers and other key employees (subsequently increased by 20 units to an additional officer in July 2013). Fifty percent of these restricted stock units have time-based vesting conditions and fifty percent have performance-based vesting conditions. The restricted stock units vest one-third annually in May 2014, 2015, and 2016 (August 2014, 2015 and 2016 vest for the July 2013 grant). The Company performance-based awards were evaluated based on the Company’s adjusted cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, with 34.8% of the Company performance metrics achieved and 229 units forfeited at December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, 5 units forfeited, 37 units were released upon vest, and the remaining 69 units will vest over the next two years.

On February 13, 2014, the Company awarded 825 restricted stock units to its officers and other key employees (subsequently increased by 40 units awarded to an additional officer in July 2014) where fifty percent of these restricted stock units have time-based vesting conditions and fifty percent (assuming maximum goal performance) have market performance-based vesting conditions contingent upon the Company’s relative shareholder returns measured against the peer group companies. The restricted stock units will vest, if at all, one-third annually in March 2015, 2016, and 2017. The market performance-based awards will be evaluated annually in one-third increments measuring Company shareholder returns during the one, two and three year periods following the award. Company performance within the 75th percentile tier in a measurement period would result in maximum performance attainment, while performance below the 25th-percentile results in no vesting for that period. The performance-based restricted stock units have an average fair value of $1.84 on the date of grant, calculated with the assistance of a valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. As of December 31, 2014, the performance metric for year one was not met on the market performance-based awards and to date, 187 of these restricted stock units have been forfeited.

The total fair value of restricted stock vested during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $3,171, $3,052 and $2,208, respectively. The intrinsic value of exercised options during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $1, $14 and $512, respectively.

VALUATION FOR ESP PLAN AND STOCK OPTION AWARDS

The fair value of these equity awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions and fair values for stock-based compensation grants used for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below.

	Year ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Stock option awards:
Risk-free interest rate		1.7	%		0.8	%		1.0	%
Expected volatility		58	%		72	%		70	%
Average expected term (in years)		5			5			5
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	0.97		$	1.36		$	1.14
ESP Plan:
Risk-free interest rate		0.3	%		0.1	%		0.2	%
Expected volatility		72	%		51	%		61	%
Average expected term		1			1			1
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Weighted average fair value of purchase option	$	0.28		$	0.55		$	0.77

The Company regularly assesses the assumptions used in its option valuation. For equity awards with an expected term of one year or less, the assumption for expected volatility is solely based on the Company’s historical volatility. For equity awards with expected terms of greater than one year, the Company used a combination of implied and historical volatility for options granted in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The expected term of the stock options is based on historical observations of employee exercise patterns combined with expectations of employee exercise behavior in the future giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards. The risk free interest rate assumption has consistently been based on the yield at the time of grant of a U.S. Treasury security with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends and has consistently assumed a 0% dividend yield.

The Company also sponsors an Employee Savings and Protection Plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code which is available to all full-time employees. Employees can make voluntary contributions up to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company previously matched 30% of employee contributions up to 10% of their gross pay; however, as a cost reduction during the second quarter of 2014, the Company discontinued matching 401(k) contributions. The Company recorded expense relating to plan contributions of $220, $829, and $855 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

4. FAIR VALUE AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

As of December 31, 2014, we have no auction rate securities outstanding.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are classified in the following hierarchy:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

    The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents a summary of fair value information for available-for-sale securities:

					Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Security Type	Amortized Cost Basis (1)		Fair Value		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

(1) Difference between amortized cost basis and fair value represents gross unrealized gains.

(2) Available for sale debt security with contractual maturity in excess of 10 years.

AUCTION RATE SECURITIES AND FORMER-AUCTION CORPORATE DEBT SECURITY

Auction rate securities (ARS) were a short-term cash management instrument used by the market and the Company prior to 2008. The instruments used a monthly Dutch auction process to provide liquidity on long-term financial instruments that reset the applicable interest rate and through the reset, allowed existing investors to rollover or liquidate their holdings at par value. During 2007 and early 2008, ARS failed to auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders.

During the first half of 2014, our Level 2 former-auction corporate debt security and remaining Level 3 preferred equity action rate security sold for $2,960 and $568, respectively, resulting in a realized gain of $1,728, which was recorded to Other income, net. During 2013, two Level 2 and one Level 3 ARS redeemed for $6,739, resulting in a realized gain of $1,684, which was recorded to Other income, net.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each type of security valued using a Level 3 valuation.

8. INCOME TAXES

There were no current and deferred components of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

Deferred tax assets require a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Whereas realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the timing and magnitude of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax attributes, management began recording a full valuation allowance in 2001. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are changed.

Significant components of the Company’s net deferred taxes as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	December 31,
	2014			2013
Deferred tax balances
Accruals/reserves	$	6,709		$	7,652
Net operating loss carryforwards		211,749			210,894
Research and experimentation credits		14,089			14,414
Deferred rent expense		400			614
Difference in basis of plant and equipment		9,445			9,791
Valuation allowance		(242,392	)		(243,365	)
Net deferred tax assets		-			-

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $612,604 for federal and $272,022 for state tax reporting purposes. The federal carryforward will begin to expire in 2019, and the state carryforwards have begun to expire. A portion of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods due to the “change of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. A portion of these carryforwards may expire before becoming available to reduce future income tax liabilities.

At December 31, 2014, $25,149 of the deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards and an equivalent amount of deferred tax asset valuation allowance represented tax benefits associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options and vesting of restricted stock deduction over book. Such benefit, when realized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital. Included within the Company’s net operating loss tax carryforwards at December 31, 2014, the Company has excess tax benefits, related to stock-based compensation of $11,532 which are not recorded as a deferred tax asset as the amounts would not have resulted in a reduction in current taxes payable until all other tax attributes currently available to the Company were utilized. The benefit of these deductions will be recorded to additional paid-in capital at the time the tax deduction results in a reduction of current taxes payable.

The earnings associated with the Company’s investment in its foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently invested and no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes on those earnings or translation adjustments has been provided.

The reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the benefit from income taxes is as follows:

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On December 17, 1998, the Company adopted a Shareholders’ Rights Agreement dated as of December 17, 1998 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of November 30, 2000 and Amendment No. 2 dated as of October 2, 2008), by and between ANADIGICS, Inc. and Computershare, Inc., as the Rights agent (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of ANADIGICS, Inc. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 1998. The rights were scheduled to expire on December 17, 2018, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged, pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. On April 24, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to terminate the Rights Agreement by approving an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement to accelerate the final expiration date of the rights (the “Rights”) to April 25, 2014. As a result of the Amendment, as of the close of business on April 25, 2014, the Rights are no longer outstanding nor exercisable, and the Rights Agreement was effectively terminated.

NASDAQ LISTING

The Company’s common stock currently trades on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”). On August 11, 2014, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ notifying the Company that it did not comply with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing under the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 9, 2015, during which to regain compliance. The Company's common stock subsequently maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days, from January 26, 2015 to February 6, 2015, enabling the Company to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule. The Company’s common stock will therefore maintain its listing on the NASDAQ.

STOCK OFFERING

In March 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 10,704 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share which generated net proceeds to the Company of $19,675.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

3. SEGMENTS

The Company has one reportable segment. Its ICs are primarily manufactured using common manufacturing facilities located in the same domestic geographic area. The method for determining what information to report is based on management’s use of financial information for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. All operating expenses and assets of the Company are combined and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on an enterprise-wide basis, resulting in no additional discrete financial information or operating segment information. The Company’s business units share similar long term business models, research and development expenses and selling and administrative expenses. The Company has concluded at December 31, 2014 that it has only one reportable segment. The Company will re-assess its conclusions at least annually.

The Company classifies its revenues based upon the end application of the product in which its ICs are used. Net sales by end application are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Infrastructure	$	39,161	$	36,199	$	34,584
Mobile		47,121		98,043		78,059
Total	$	86,282	$	134,242	$	112,643

The Company sells to five geographic regions: Asia, Europe, Latin America, USA and Other. The geographic region is determined by the destination of the shipped product. Net sales to each of the five geographic regions are as follows:

13. BANK BORROWINGS UNDER CREDIT FACILITY

On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provides the Company with a two-year revolving credit facility of $10,000 that expires on October 24, 2016. The Credit Agreement enables borrowings based upon 85% of eligible accounts receivable and is secured by certain insured accounts receivable and substantially all of the Company’s other assets. The SVB Loan Agreement requires compliance with certain covenants, including minimum EBITDA (as defined in the SVB Loan Agreement) and quick ratio levels, in addition to certain capital expenditure limits. The interest rate on the outstanding balance under the SVB Loan Agreement is Prime plus 0.5%. The SVB Loan Agreement contains a fee for any unused portion of the facility. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its covenants and $4,000 was outstanding under the SVB Loan Agreement.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. The PNC Credit Agreement was amended in December 2013 and further amended on April 30, 2014, to revise the minimum EBITDA covenants. The PNC Credit Agreement provided the Company with a three-year revolving credit facility of $11,000 that was scheduled to expire on April 30, 2016. The PNC Credit Agreement was secured by certain cash balances with borrowing availability based upon accounts receivable and compliance with covenants, including minimum EBITDA (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement) and certain capital expenditure limits. The Company was permitted to elect to borrow at rates approximating LIBOR plus 3.25%. The PNC Credit Agreement contained a fee for any unused portion of the facility. On April 30, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment of Account which secured the Company’s existing and future obligations to the Lenders with a Company business account. On October 24, 2014, all outstanding amounts due under the PNC Credit Facility were satisfied in full and the PNC Credit Facility was terminated.
